Overview of Bering Media’s Privacy Technology

As network operators, ISPs are in the unique position of already having knowledge of the geographic location (“geo-location”) of the IP addresses on their network.

We use this aggregate Match Data to provide our service to the online ad networks. Bering Media does not have access to the ISPs geo-location data or any personally identifiable information of Internet users.
